Romans 1:16
The Gospel is the message that God has left for His church to
proclaim. It is the most powerful message in the world, it is the only
message that can save, transform, heal and deliver.
When preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit there is
nothing in this world that can compare to the power of the Gospel.
No power in hell can withstand it, nuclear power or the power of
the army or the power of the mighty dollar, cannot and do not
come close to the power that the church has been left with. The
Gospel has everything to do with Jesus, the cross, the
resurrection, the blood of Christ and the entirety of the word of God
etc.
Given that the Gospel is the power of God and the only answer for
a dying world, it would be correct to state that the number one
reason for the existence of the church is to be the mouth piece for
God in the proclamation of the Gospel to a hurting and lost world.
The question must be asked, what is the message that the church
is proclaiming today? And why in so many churches is the
proclamation of the Gospel not evident at all?
The apostles of the early church would go into a city and care not
for the culture or the opinions of man, they just turned up and
preached the Gospel in all its power and authority, therefore we
see a powerful church that was causing havoc on the devils
kingdom, time and time again you read that they went into a city
and preached the Gospel, we must urgently come back to this if
we are to see what they saw.
Enough with trying to fit in and be the flavour of the month, it is
time for preachers of the Gospel all over the world to rise up and
cry out ‘thus says the Lord’.
The Apostle Paul says in the text for this article “For I am not
ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto
SALVATION to every one that believeth”
The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. If we want the
power to flow, the Gospel must be our message; if we want
salvation to be real, then the Gospel must be our message. This
verse is not just talking about salvation to the lost whom are
without Christ, it talks also about a salvation for the Christian in
need in his or her journey, this is health, deliverance, breakthrough
and provision. For the word salvation means, rescue, safety,
deliver, health, wholeness and restoration. In coming to this
realization so much of what goes on today in the church would be
stopped, people go here and there, convention after Convention
and Method after Method looking for an answer to their bondage,
struggles and needs, all the while the answer is in front of them.
We must understand that what saved us will keep us saved and
that is the power of the Gospel.
Preachers, get alone with God and allow this Gospel message to
saturate your whole being and for God who is the giver of the
message to burn His word in you, then you will get up to preach
the Gospel with such power, passion and conviction, that will give
every opportunity to those listening to receive salvation. People will
either receive the message or reject it, but they will know that they
have heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached through the lips
of an earthen vessel.
God bless
Evangelist Esteban San Martin
